Proposals for residential conversions must:

• Involve no large extensions or alterations to roofs which are unacceptable in terms of their appearance;
• Be in houses with a useable rear garden of more than 50 square metres and meet the garden space standards set out in Policy H18;
• Include suitably enclosed refuse storage areas at the rear of the property (if this is not practical, storage areas at the front or side of the property should be adequately screened so as not to become a dominant feature, and to avoid loss of amenity);
• Provide adequate and properly located car parking retaining as much front garden as is practical; and
• Be designed to have the minimal impact on the amenities of neighbours through the layout of rooms.
